Atlanta Boomers Are Moving To This Scenic Florida City With Affordable Living And Sandy Beaches

There are many reasons why someone would choose to live in Atlanta. It has a bustling downtown area with attractions and restaurants, and it's a major corporate hub. But for Boomers born between 1946 and 1964 who are no longer in the workforce, the hustle and bustle of daily life in the big city may no longer be serving them. For those looking for a more laid-back lifestyle, Florida's Panama City, located in the Panhandle, could be worth considering. Panama City's proximity to Gulf Coast beaches offers opportunities for frequent beach trips, and recent migration data suggests that the surrounding area is attracting some Atlanta baby boomers.

AROUND TOWN: Georgia's new agriculture commissioner is a Snellville resident

The Blue Wave that washed through statewide offices and made history last week included a Gwinnett County connection. Georgia’s new Agriculture Commissioner, Katherine Juhan-Arnold, is a Snellville resident who founded Baby Katie’s Pharm and Kitchen. She defeated Republican incumbent Agiculture Commissioner Tyler Harper in last week’s elections and will be the first Black woman to hold the office. “The campaign may be over, but our work is just beginning,” Juhan-Arnold said after her victory. “We’re going to protect our farmers, strengthen our communities, stand up for consumers, protect our animals, steady our resources and build an Agriculture Department that works for every Georgian.” Baby Katie’s Pharm and Kitchen was set up to operate as a nonprofit farm to help low income families have access to fresh fruit and vegetables. It also works with families through education to help them grow their own food. Juhan-Arnold ran on a “Grow Georgia” platform of supporting market access for Georgia farmers, investing in infrastructure such as broadband for farms, protecting farmland, addressing the rising cost to run a farm in Georgia, supporting farm-to-school programs and regional food hubs, expanding international markets for Georgia-grown products and ensuring Georgia’s poultry and livestock supplies remain healthy so

'We were all farmers' —Thomas Ewing, 96, remembers Snellville’s rural roots

Of the rolling fields and orchards of Thomas Ewing’s boyhood, memories remain. “I can go down the road and name you the farmers, from the church on down the road, and right up the road, the ones that was farming during that time,” Ewing says. “We were all farmers.” It was 1930. The previous year the stock market had crashed, and Americans were losing faith in their banks, in their president, in the possibilities of their country. In the midst of the tumult Ewing was born in a four-room farmhouse his grandfather built on Webb Gin House Road. Briefly, the family moved to Atlanta to try a different life. They were driven back by the worsening depression, and remained on the family farm another two and a half decades. Ewing himself would not stay even that long. He enlisted, and at 20 he left Gwinnett. Never again would he pick cotton, or plow a field. By the time he returned home to Snellville, 46 years later, everything had changed. A country crossroad had grown to a metro suburb. Ewing had traveled the world, and become director of his division. But for the son of a farmer raised in his father’s

CONYERS — What began in 1951 with a borrowed truck, a handful of catalogs, and a young entrepreneur determined to build his own business has grown into one of Rockdale County’s longest-running family-owned retail establishments.

Founded by William Thomas “Tom” Sigman and his wife, Miriam, in 1951, the business remains in the family and is owned by their daughter and son-in-law, Carol and former Conyers Mayor Randy Mills. Their children, Steven Mills and Caroline Mills Williams, now help run the company day to day. “There’s a lot of pride that comes with being a part of a family business that has lasted so long in a small community,” Carol said. “There aren’t many third-generation businesses around today.” For Tom, building a successful business was a goal shaped by the hardships
